Richly colored double psudomorph of Chrsocolla after Malachite after Azurite. Big crystals are present across the top of this piece with a matrix covered by tiny spheres of Chrysocolla and small Wulfenite crystals. The blue on this specimen is just superb - compare to others which are more of a blueish green. Ex. Charlie Key collection.

Complete sixling Cerussite that is good sized. Large Cerussites are not as common from Touissit as they are from Tsumeb. The old label calls this a Cat's-eye Cerussite and indeed there are fibrous inclusions in areas that display a shiller effect. Complete on both sides and undamaged.

Brilliant red Vanadinite crystals on matrix. Crystals reach 1.8cm wide. I have looked at thousands of Vanadinite specimens over the years and most have a good side and a bad side. All the crystals facing one direction will have luster and the other sides will be dull and brownish. This specimen is one of the good ones with crystals that have the same bright red color and luster on both sides. A couple of the small crystals are incomplete and the top crystal has one tiny contact/ding, but all the others, the vast majority, are good. Bright, showy translucent red crystals.

Wow. V-twin Cerussite with attached Dioptase crystals and another small V-twin attached. The Dioptase are not only undamaged, but they are gem transparent as well. I've never seen one like it. Ex. Charlie Key collection.

Single gem Apatite crystal with by far the best color I've ever seen in a Merelani Apatite. Gem quality top to bottom and well terminated. I've held on to this crystal for about 5 years now and it's time to release it.

Triply terminated single Benitoite, 1.4cm wide, on Natrolite with a Neptunite crystal. The Benitoite is undamaged with smooth front faces and partially etched faces on the back. The Neptunite is terminated, with the termination at the end in the Natrolite.

Sperical cluster of Epistilbite crystals in an open vug in basalt. The crystals are highly lustrous and extend out
from the center to varying distances creating a neat visual effect. Unfortunately one crystal at the very edge where the matrix broke away in incomplete.
The rest of the spherical mass is perfect.
